It's not surreal. Gun crime is way down. Homicide rates are at the lowest point in 100 years.
I'd be more impressed with this stat if the rate they quoted for the US wasn't "Based on single year available data between 1990 and 1995", which juuuuust happens to coincide with the absolute peak of gun crime in the US. And if it didn't include suicide deaths.
And the number of firearm deaths in the US dropped 21% between 1997 and 1999. It dropped 9.2% between 2007 and 2009. It dropped another 6.7% between 2009 and 2011. See, we can do this, too!
Besides, that stat about Brazil doesn't match up with the
numbers reported here. It looks like firearm homicides held steady for years.
Gangs. We got 'em. They suck.
/facepalm
Reread your source. Your 60k firearm deaths... was for 2009 and 2010 combined (and included suicides, but whatever).
